The beast of the ESEE knives! One of the sharp blade right out of the box and one that stays sharp. The bow drill socket work well on this one as well! Great review brother!
I bought myself an Esee 4 a while back for my edc fixed blade. I have got to say it is one of the best performing knives I have ever owned. Very impressed to say the least, would recommend any day. Love your vids by the way, Tac. Keep em' comin'
You guessed it exactly a refined BK2 , without a doubt ! You're right it takes little time to realize you have good knife in your hands. You're right about sabre grinds also. ; the best of all worlds. Great review !
hell yea brother! you cannot go wrong with Esee! th Esee6 is my fav blade... the dirt will whipe right off that coating.. their coatings are great and you really gotta work to get through it! great review bro!
Hi Tac. I like your uploads. Informative, fun and to the point. You also have a voice that make me belive in what you are talking about. Like your voice and it suits this kind of program.( and that coming from a hetero guy) And you are hard testing the gear, and you are telling about cons and pros. Got to like that. And best of all, you are not selling your self out like a lot of other popular survaival youtubers do after they got some subscribers...... so, all in all. Please continue the Good work and upload videos to is all.
I own the Esee 5 and agree with your review completely. I like mine so much I had a guy make me a custom dangler sheath for it. it truly is a beast, when it gets warmer I'll do a review on the stump a Destiny and I will test the tip to see if I can break it, thanks for another great review brother.
my dad and I got our 5 in last week a day after junglas and did some testing saturday, I don't know what kind of wood it was but hard af and the 5 made it look like butter
buddys been trying to sell me his essee 5 for awhile but it has some minimal serrations so im still thinking about it dont dig the serrations alot except veff and only sometimes but i like that its nicer than a bk2 comes with the micarta handles too
Would love to see a review of this knife with a paracord wrap instead of the handle. A common gripe with this knife is the blocky handle. I have one and must admit the ergos on the handle could be better.
Ilove this knife. Regretted the price I paid for it because I already have a bk7. But im finding im grabbing this knife everytime for wood processing and the yard.
I have the Esee-6 with the sharpened swedge on the tip. I kind of wish I had gotten the one without the swedge sharpened though..I might look into selling my BK2 and get this though. I just can't get used to the BK2 handle..
Thats the exact color and everything i plan on getting. Right now i have an Ontario Knife Company SP-10 Raider Bowie and its awesome, my wife even chopped a tree down with hers lol, but I'd rather have a drop point verses the clip point.
I have two Esee 5"s and a 6...... Both are good blades.... I like my Bk 2 a little better because of the handle scale design.... I stripped the coating off the bk 2 and opted for micarta scales on it also..... The scale design on the Esee's are to skinny for my extra large hands, so the bk 2 is my favorite 5...... Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinion on this blade, I appreciate it sir Tac
What's up tac good video as always , and yeah it looks like a fckn beast at batoning and shit it's thick enough to be used as s pry bar if needed . Exact color I was thinking about getting . I love all my Esee's . And they hands down have the best warrany !!!!!! even if you snap it in half trying to pry open car door or what ever they will replace with NO QUESTIONS ASKED !!! That is only for the 1095 blades . Do u own any other Esee's
Hell yeah, badass knife! Got mine knife only for $93, bought a better(in my opinion) custom kydex sheath on eBay for $29 with a Tek-lock and love it. I wouldn't be worried about breaking the tip, especially with their warranty!
I believe what sets this knife apart from the bk2 in its abilities is the difference in grind heights. I think the bk2's saber grind starts higher than the esee 5's. I have a bk2 and an esee 6 and love em both but the 5 keeps calling my name!!!! Love the vid. Take it easy playboy.
Did you ever get the esee 5? And if you did, do you prefer the esee 5 over the bk2? The only reason im asking is because I'm getting ready to by either a esee 5 or a bk2. It's a hard choice because I like the tip more on the esee 5 but i like the steel more on the bk2.
@@johnnyeas1431 I never did get the 5. I’m with you on the steel choice, Kabars Cro-van in my opinion is a better steel. I used my bk14 and an esee 3 to dress a deer I had shot and the esee dulled way before the bk14. So that sealed the deal on esee knives for me.
Would you recomend this knife over the esse 6 or the other way around i have my sights on set for the esee 6. Also esee6 with or with out the sharpened swedge
Tactical, my man i bought the Esee 5 knife after watching your video. I would like to know where you find the Esee 5 for $95??? I couldn't find anything cheaper than $127 without the sheath!!!
tac, u should try to get the schrade SCMACH18CP outback machete and test it. yes I know what a long name. but I was looking on amazon and came across it and it will only run you 19 bucks. I was looking at machetes and was wondering if you can test it out for me
the stock handles are blocky and dont fill the hand very well. i kept trying to convince myself that this knife wouldnt fall out of my hand so did some chopping motions with it and it did fall out out of my hand onto my finger lol.i bought the g10 scales for it and im totaly confidient this knife will never fall out of my hand again
Im sold getting a Esee 6 i just made up my mind, I was thinking Becker BK7 at first was checking forums and videos all month. Can you get get the G10 scales on Amazon?
I love your reviews man but I'm itching to know why you something isn't a 10. I'm itching to know why you give your numbers. Drives me crazy! Anyways awesome vid. :)
tac! do you know where i can find a esee laser strike for around 80 85 smackers cheapest i found was 99 bucks i told myself id buy it it i could find it cheap thanks playboy!
hi from FRANCE Tac , this knife is awesome , but you know TOPS black-rhino ? If you can , pls try this knife ! bonne journée a toi et bon courage , merci pour toutes tes super vidéos !
" A bunch of fire starters" Wrapped in Zig Zag rice paper no less? Blue tarp on the firewood...winter is coming soon my friend. Just put everything away from summer, stocked the wood, pulled out the trail skis...ready to wax.
I'm not Tac, however I can tell you that this sheath already is for lefties too. the belt clip is just screwed on and you can easy switch it to the other side. that's the good thing of kydex sheaths and screwed on attachments. hope this was helpful Mike
I noticed on somethings you sghow the comments are turned off. Never thought I'd se that on your channel, shame . Anyway esee 5 in UK with that pouch and stuff is nearlly £300.00 or more very pricey for a basic knife.
Great blade design on the surge but the sheath......has a dangerous flaw. if you grab the sheath to draw it out it has a notch on the blade side that the index finger wants to naturally fall into. pull the knife out that way and sever your finger! I almost severed my finger and caught myself in the nick of time! otherwise it's a lot of power in a small package. single purpose. self defense not chopping wood. needs a custom sheath no prob.
Marc Rhodes yeah the sheath was the one thing that disturbed me since the moment I got it. But like you said, awesome knife, just not mainly usable for everyday situations
Noah Koenig hater he is helping people make the right choice on knifes as a knife collector who use in the wood I have got a knife that thought was gona be awesome ended up sucking! I know you prob wish you had your u tube channel but I guess trolling and hating on others is working for you
"What the H*ll do I got in here?" . . . crude, unrefined, but engaging and unconventionally, refreshingly satisfying! You definitely have a unique, irreverent review style, Brother. Btw, I like my ESEE-5 also. Thanks for the great video. I'm subscribing!!!
"This thing is so thick and broad, no shock ,no slippage, not yet anyway,that's so perfectly rounded,it feels great actually " that's what she said!
Out of all of my fixed blades I keep returning to this one. Awesome vid!
The beast of the ESEE knives! One of the sharp blade right out of the box and one that stays sharp. The bow drill socket work well on this one as well! Great review brother!
I bought myself an Esee 4 a while back for my edc fixed blade. I have got to say it is one of the best performing knives I have ever owned. Very impressed to say the least, would recommend any day. Love your vids by the way, Tac. Keep em' comin'
That knife is awesome! Thank you for the vid my brotha TAC!
I have a few Esee knives and thanks to you Tac I'm adding this one to my collection. Thumbs up bro.
nice , My first fixed blade in a long time was a esee Azula , FANTASTIC little blade. tough as hell .
I was just going to ask you to make a review about this knife. That's amazing!
You guessed it exactly a refined BK2 , without a doubt ! You're right it takes little time to realize you have good knife in your hands. You're right about sabre grinds also. ; the best of all worlds. Great review !
That's funny. Searched for a review and found one from one of my favorite knife channels posted the same day
Great video tac! keep up the good work
hell yea brother! you cannot go wrong with Esee! th Esee6 is my fav blade... the dirt will whipe right off that coating.. their coatings are great and you really gotta work to get through it! great review bro!

Esee 5 is my dream knife, great review brother!

We went to the junk yard and pried open multiple car doors. No issues
my dad and I got our 5 in last week a day after junglas and did some testing saturday, I don't know what kind of wood it was but hard af and the 5 made it look like butter
Nice test brother. this thing kicks ass. yeah.
buddys been trying to sell me his essee 5 for awhile but it has some minimal serrations so im still thinking about it dont dig the serrations alot except veff and only sometimes but i like that its nicer than a bk2 comes with the micarta handles too
Tac if you snap it they replace it no questions asked. Great video
Would love to see a review of this knife with a paracord wrap instead of the handle. A common gripe with this knife is the blocky handle. I have one and must admit the ergos on the handle could be better.
Great review, thank you for posting it.
Where can you find them for 95? I paid 160 on Amazon for that thing
Ilove this knife. Regretted the price I paid for it because I already have a bk7. But im finding im grabbing this knife everytime for wood processing and the yard.
Thanx for the review Tac,also sharpening is verry easy on those Esee's
great review on a fine knife, ty bro'
I have the Esee-6 with the sharpened swedge on the tip. I kind of wish I had gotten the one without the swedge sharpened though..I might look into selling my BK2 and get this though. I just can't get used to the BK2 handle..
your still the man TACT !! heck I don't need a ball buster or I mean a nut smasher lol thanks much😇😇
cool tool love see make on in snow camo green and white look so bad ass
have the green version, have split about 3cubic m of wood over 1 year, it held up good but i guess the blade is beyond sharpening.
I Think i gotta splurge and go Esse 5... oh yeah!
Cheers 🍻
BB
Thanks for this insightful views -
Thats the exact color and everything i plan on getting. Right now i have an Ontario Knife Company SP-10 Raider Bowie and its awesome, my wife even chopped a tree down with hers lol, but I'd rather have a drop point verses the clip point.
You should try the Steel Will darkangel. Awesome knife and sheath setup!
I have two Esee 5"s and a 6...... Both are good blades.... I like my Bk 2 a little better because of the handle scale design....

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinion on this blade, I appreciate it sir Tac
Check out the knife connection 3D scales for esse knives. I got a 3D green micaeda scale and love it for my esse 6
Sweet blade. With Christmas approaching, I better start talking a lot about how cool it is, see if the missus takes the bait :)

Very good review.Am a big fan of esse

Im sold getting a Esee 6 i just made up my mind, I was thinking Becker BK7 at first was checking forums and videos all month. Can you get get the G10 scales on Amazon?

hi from FRANCE Tac , this knife is awesome , but you know TOPS black-rhino ? If you can , pls try this knife ! bonne journée a toi et bon courage , merci pour toutes tes super vidéos !
I have both the zombie green and the blaze orange in this :)
tactical needs to make his own knife!!!
hell yrah
That would be a beast ass blade knowing tac!!
I agree, it should be a machete named "The Tac-cheté'
that would be bad ass
Would need to be something as crazy as him, like a short sword that can be shot out of a pistol lol.
"GOD THE TRAFFIC TODAY get a freakin job people..."
Great review I don't own an Esee knife that isn't awesome.
Wish ESEE would make a 1/4" Junglas. Good vid Tac.
Checkout the El Chete it's the closest I have found to what I want in a Chopper
" A bunch of fire starters"
Wrapped in Zig Zag rice paper no less?
Blue tarp on the firewood...winter is coming soon my friend.
Just put everything away from summer, stocked the wood, pulled out the trail skis...ready to wax.
Hey tac are those sheath's available for left handed too????
I'm not Tac, however I can tell you that this sheath already is for lefties too. the belt clip is just screwed on and you can easy switch it to the other side. that's the good thing of kydex sheaths and screwed on attachments.
hope this was helpful
Mike
I noticed on somethings you sghow the comments are turned off. Never thought I'd se that on your channel, shame . Anyway esee 5 in UK with that pouch and stuff is nearlly £300.00 or more very pricey for a basic knife.
what up tac
You cannot break the tip on it I have the same nife
"gay cars"..."listen to that crap..." you just made my day :)
Could you test the 5.11 tanto surge? Thanks man
Great blade design on the surge but the sheath......has a dangerous flaw. if you grab the sheath to draw it out it has a notch on the blade side that the index finger wants to naturally fall into. pull the knife out that way and sever your finger!

But like you said, awesome knife, just not mainly usable for everyday situations
Tac :"GET A FRICKIN JOB PEOPLE!" *proceeds to sit in the woods and baton a knife*
Noah Koenig exactly what I was thinking. Is this guy doing a satire? Is this guy doing a satire? Like I said it's like Ask a Ninja meets Bushcraft
Nobody here seems to have a little sense of humor...
And BTW Ninja is a pretty cool Job.
He has a job dumb fuck
Noah Koenig hater he is helping people make the right choice on knifes as a knife collector who use in the wood I have got a knife that thought was gona be awesome ended up sucking! I know you prob wish you had your u tube channel but I guess trolling and hating on others is working for you
I need this knife.
"What the H*ll do I got in here?" . . . crude, unrefined, but engaging and unconventionally, refreshingly satisfying! You definitely have a unique, irreverent review style, Brother. Btw, I like my ESEE-5 also. Thanks for the great video. I'm subscribing!!!
William Burr welcome my friend
Please review esee junglas
I did,check playlist
Ask a Ninja meets Bushcraft
Man I wish I paid 95 for my Esee 5. Cost me like 150ish
BigKen_NJ yeah you all are so lucky in Switzerland it costs like 200 CHF. I mean the Esee 5
8.5? Man tact you must be in a great mood. That's not a number you use often. Looks like the Esee earned it though.
You should change the channel name to "The Tactical Show"
Btw love your videos man
What your religion?
